An obvious play on the German industrial band Rammstein. (Or the Air Force Base/locale that the band's name is based upon, Ramstein-Miesenbach).

Blizzard are famous for all the easter eggs in WoW and pop culture references. I think in this NPC's case, Blizzard wanted to have comical questgiver names for Brewfest that were derived from ram as per its purpose in the game. So I think they chose Ramstein for this to dwarf to reference the German band. See below for Ram Master Ray source.The name Ramstein seems too similar to the real-life version for it just to be a coincdental "Well, let's take 'male sheep' and 'beer-mug' and make a surname out of it.

Actually, "Ram Master Ray" is referencing pop culture . . . from the 80's. It's a play on "Jam Master Jay" - a member of the seminal rap group RUN-DMC.

Neill Ramstein from the band ramstien haha blizzard what a joke! he even has a german hat

Comentado por ciado

Bliz already has band Rammstein references.

Brewfest = Octoberfest

Ramstein village = in Germany

Bliz = lots of former military 3C employees.

I love Bliz!

After completing the quests he gives, you can also speak with him once more to carry more kegs back and forth. For each keg returned nets you 2 brewfest tokens/coins/tickets and about 25 seconds.

I managed to max out 30 in one run. Each run i would spend about 10 seconds (net).You can only talk to him about this side quest once a day 18 hours. (Doesnt count against your daily 25 max)

Yes, I too just did this before the 03:00 dailies reset but this one didn't reset as I am unable to ask him if he still needs help.

I see what you did there...

Of course it's a double entendre. The horde equivilant NPC is Ram Master Ray, another musical double entendre with Jam-Master Jay. So GG to the 6 people downrating a guy for mentioning only one of the references...

Comentado por Granted

Just a headsup to people before you start the side quest. If you talk to Neill, and start the quest, and then dismount, it seems like you are not able to do it again. I learned it the hard way.

From what I've experienced it seems to reset along the daily quests.

Before doing neils 'daily', check ur back space.You need spare slots for the reins and the portable keg.If you are close to a multiple of 200 coins, you will need a third slot, otherwise you hand in a keg and get no coins for it :(

To clarify this:The quest will reset every 18 hours.

And if you want to read the reason:

The idea is it's meant to be done once a day. The 18 hour reset is there so the time is more flexible for people who might do it later one day and earlier the next, as opposed to, say, a 23 hour reset which would be a significant detriment to those with limited but inconsistent time to play.

For the ram race (speaking from alliance side) pay attention to your chat box. The keg will enter your inventory before the graphic of it being thrown reaches you. This allows you to get close (basically the beginning of that small wall near the NPC that throws it to you) do an immediate u-turn and run back. I had managed to get it to where the graphic of the keg hadn't even hit me yet when I turned it in. I hit the first and second barrels as well keeping at a steady gallop. I averaged at least 30 each run, usually 34-36.

The barrel tossing thing that gets you more coins is not on a 18 hour reset. More like 8 hours going to test again when I get home from work.

I would put the reins on 1 and 2 spots on action bar using any skill or items that is not the reins causes a dismount. I clicked 2 by accident and dismount which caused me to lose out on some Brewfest coin.

Confirming reset of the ramrun to 18h.

Did it the first time at 2 am and coulden't do it untill 8 pm.

The timer seems to reset with server shutdowns and patchings.

Comentado por Thayn33

The longest I have managed to stay on the ram was 13 minutes and 10 seconds. And I was able to collect 38 tokens.

Comentado por Bloodygore

I maxed mine at 36 for a full run. :)

Beware, you can't begin the quest if you're at the 25 daily limit, even though it doesn't add to your daily limit. Ask me how I know. :(

I am surprised it hasn't been noted yet... each time you successfully deliver a barrel you gain 30 secs on your ram rental. This can be continually done upto a maximum of 15 minutes - at which time you will be dismounted even if you deliver the last barrel in time.

How to get 30-40 tokens in one runMany people have stated they have gotten 30-40 Ficha-prêmio da CervaFest in one run so let me explain how you can do that. Most of us started out this daily by ramming apple buckets to clear stacks... this however will temporarily stop your mount thereby slowing your run. The fastest way to do this run is by simply jumping over the barrels completely. To do this you have to jump clean over them, you cannot jump over the side or nearby, you have to jump directly over them. Every time I have done this it has cleared stacks. And I maxed out at 41 tokens from one run.

Good luck and have fun!

I find this years Ram Raiding much more difficult than in past years. Previously I was able to just jump over the apple barrels and it registered easily. This year it seems that I have to practically bump into the barrels before it registers. Also getting and delivering the barrels seems to be a lot more hit and miss as well. Running round NPC 3 times just to get a barrel thrown at me! This happens whatever time of day or night, regardless of how many people are playing. I am on Anachronos server if it makes any difference.

Comentado por Vadel

seems to be a small annoyance right now. if you or at least i get dismounted for some reason while on the quest it drops from your quest list and does not reappear above his head...

I'm here because I only just realized "Ramstein" could be referencing Rammstein the German Rock Band.

("And having little confidence in my own opinion I came here to see if anyone else thought the same thing as me." Atratzu said Sarcastically.)
